| Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed in 1920 as Dembski Brothers General Merchandise. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces south and is asymmetrical in composition due to uneven fenestration. The first story contains an altered storefront comprised of a central recessed entrance with adjacent walls clad in T1-11 siding; the original storefront windows have been replaced with T1-11 siding and downsized windows with decorative shutters. A brick bulkhead wall is located below the original window openings. A canvas awning spans the façade above the storefront. Above this, at the second story, are two differently-sized and unevenly-spaced 1-over-1 windows. A band of simple checkerboard brickwork spans the façade below the roofline. |
